Turn Of The Blind Eye
Chapter Three: To Friend or Not To Friend
As I waited for the pasta sauce heat up while I grilled one piece of slice chicken breast, cooked other piece of chicken, and slightly fried other because one Gabriella is going to try out for cheerleading at our new school so she can't eat anything with excess fat on it so I had to grill her chicken, second my mom likes her chicken cooked with some fat on it but still not so much, and third my dad loves fried foods so his chicken has to better than Popeyes chicken. Me on the other hand like whatever I could get whether it's fried, cooked, or grilled as long as I could it and fast I'm good to go.
I then set one part of the stove on low that had the pot of brown rice bringing to dried out so I could go ahead a set the table in the dining room. Which was thankfully next to kitchen instead all of passed the living room and study room like in our old house in Phoenix. (AN- Kitchen and Dining room pics on my profile.)
As I just set down the last plate and put all the essentials down correctly. The door bell ran but before I set myself up to get it. My sister yelled from the top of the stairs.
"I'LL GET!!!" she yelled as I heard her stomping down the stairs quickly. Oh this new she never wants to answer door even when she is two feet away from it. I had to go check what she was running for. As I go to the living room I stood by the back of the couch and looked to see that she had a open the door grinning so much that I was sure her face might break from her smiling too excitedly. As I watched her twirl a piece of her hair, smile flirtatiously at the man in uniform, and talking to him seductively to charm her way to get whatever she wanted. The man shrugged and nodded saying "sure, it won't be a problem." Gabriella signed some papers hat he handed to her on his clipboard the made her sign her signature on the machine he had with him it was then that I learn he was dropping off something.
As my sister finished signing everything the man took back everything and went back outside to retrieve what ever he was dropping off. My sister clapped and jumped up and down happily then skipped in the same fashion outside following the deliver man.
Curiosity got the best of me as I walked over to the big living room window that showed full view of our font yard. I pulled back the curtains just enough to see for myself and my sister and the deliver man to see that he had a big white truck that pretty was the length of to houses, ours and the neighbors to the right. The deliver man went in the back of his truck and pulled down a red lever that made the back of the truck gates slide up like a garage door when a car is coming out of it and slide come down automatically with him being escalated up to go into the truck.
For a while nothing happen I was about to leave when I saw the deliver man throw a pair of keys over to my sister and asked her to come into the truck to get it. As I watched my sister being pulled up into the truck I almost called my mom and dad downstairs but not before I heard roar of an car engine coming from inside the truck. Next thing I knew I saw a pick car coming down the truck slide and into on of our three side driveways of our house. My sister stepped out of the car and started pecking it with about 3-4 times before bring the now known as car keys to her chest and started hugging it lovingly.
The was full on pink expected for the inside that was red. It was a four seater car with two car doors. It had a cross like symbol on it in the front. I figure this must be the Maseratishe picked out about four months ago before we moved to be costumed made especially to her qualifications and be deliver here to our new home once it was done.
I didn't know much about cars but neither did she when she still hanging around with Jacob *violent shiver at his name* she had made him come with her to the Maserati company to talk about what she would like done with the car since he knew about cars more then she did in return she will give him a good time and buy him some motorcycle he wanted. So he did and she did what she promise him.
I was again about to leave when the deliver came out again with other car that was blue it most definitely must be mine. I ran outside just as the man pulled into another driveway at the house.
I went towards the car it was shiny with a big, big silver bow on it that had the word "ENJOY" written all over it in the front on the top hood. (AN-Car pics on my profile.)
While I was busy gliding my hand over the car I almost missed my sister arguing with the deliver man about the car.
"I'm sorry but theres no way this *she waved towards my car* is ours so you can put it back into your truck and return to where ever it came from." She said crossing her arms in an annoyed way.
"Well another sorry back to you miss but it she here *shows her his clipboard* that there are 2 cars to deliver to this address not 1 car but 2. So I need a…*takes back his clipboard and looks at it* Miss Isabella M. Swan here to sign for this."
"Well like I said if she lived her she would have been able to si-"
I ran up to the deliver man and block my sister off. "Ah that would sir. Now what do I have to sign?"
"You little bi-" "Okay you have to sign here…aanndd here…here …here…" He said to me cutting off my sister and flipping through the pages of his clipboard telling where to sign.
"Okay now last but not least *pulled his clipboard away and tucked it under his shoulder then brought out his signature machine* put your signature here and include the first letter of middle name." At last it was over as I sign the rest of my name and give his digital pen back to him. Then I lifted up my nervously to get the keys from him.
"Oh yeah the people that had me deliver this to you put in a note to me to tell you before I give you the keys. Is that I was already tip $250 for my services, that hopefully you like the car, and to make sure to call them as soon as you been settled into your basement and drove around in your car for a bit. Alright that was it and *drop the keys into my awaiting hand* hopefully you'll enjoy your car services handler and make sure to pick us again if any travel is must needed service." the deliver man said to me and my sister at the end then wave goodbye, fixed back his truck, and drove off.
I held the keys in my hand and turned around to go to my car but only to be stop by my sister's angry face.
"You little naïve clumsy little girl. How dare you step right in front of me as I was talking to that man. You've got some nerve but let me tell you something if you EVER step in front of me again while I'm talking to someone and I don't care who it is I'm talking to I would make your life more of living hell than anybody else can. Got me Isabella?" She sneered in an frightening voice that made the hairs on the back of my neck stick out into attention.
"Ye-Yeah s-s-sure." I nervously to her then hurriedly head back into the kitchen to serve out the food that remember should be ready by now.
When I got to the kitchen withdrew a breath I didn't know I was holding in. I went to the dining room and gathered up all the plates then brought on the kitchen counter and served everyone's food on each plate exactly to their qualifications. When I was done I brought them out and set them down on their respective places where everyone eats.
I went back to the kitchen and quickly fixed up some Icee Tea in glass jug then brought it out to the center of the table.
I continued to go back and forth into the kitchen and dining room until the only thing I had to bring out was the lime jell-o my mom made this morning before I could have got here.
I called everyone to say that dinner was ready and in seconds like a herd of hobos piling up into a salvation army serving dinner to needy.
During time of eating our dessert now. My father spoke up.
"So I call the high school today and informed them that you two will be attending tomorrow for classes." He said as he stuff more food into his mouth.
"Are you serious daddy, we just got settled in here today and now I have to go to school tomorrow." She didn't questioned she just stated the fact of the matter wile she slumped back into her chair and pick around her food with her fork.
My father signed. "Yes honey, I know we just moved and all but the police station wants me down there as soon as possible and since I'm chief of police my um…daughters have to attend school. Anyway tomorrow is the second Monday of October so this is great way to start off school." my father said stress having to includes an 's' for his daughters.
"Whatever…oh yeah guess what? *she turned her stare to me with an evil glint in her eye* Grandpa and Grandma strike again." she said playfully.
'Oh for the love of all that is holy. Why can't she leave me be at this one hour of dinner??? Why???' I asked myself as I now looked down to my plate and continued to eat but now at slower pace then before.
He signed angrily and I could tell he was staring at me with a hard look without even looking up at him. "Oh really what did they do this time?" he said with strained tight voice as I saw that his elbows were on the table and his arms up meaning that he must be using the cloth napkin to clean his hands.
"Well why don't you go look outside to see what is new other than my car in the driveway." she sneered as my father dropped his cloth napkin on his empty dinner plate then got up from his seat and went over to the front door.
I blew out an uneasy breath during the time my dad open the door and within seconds slammed so hard that the plates on the dining table shake.
I left my head up just in time to see him stomp back into the room and pacing angrily back and forth.
My mom dropped down her spoon on her plate then turn in her chair towards my father. "How bad is it dear?" she sighed.
"It's a sprint blue 2008 Audi S5." He stressed out.
"Car talk Charlie I don't understand what that means."
"In other words it's a luxury brand European car that would take at least two years before it's available to be sold in the U.S. Which would be in 2010 at the latest."
"So can she still ride it here since you said is not sold in this country yet?" she asked.
He looked over to me and narrowed his eyes "Yes she can. You know what I have enough stress for the night so I'm just going to shower then go to be. And leave with that school starts at 7:55 a.m. so don't either of you be late and you also have to pick up your schedules at the office in the school. Here are the directions to the school you guys should put those in your GPS systems before you head off to bed so you won't have to do it in the morning." He said rubbing his temples and give the directions sheet to me and my sister.
Then he went over to Gabriella and kissed her forehead and gave her a half hug with one arm. "Goodnight princess. Have good day tomorrow at school I won't be here because I have to go in the station early to see some of the latest reports and among other things too." he said with love in his voice.
He then straighten himself up and looked over to me. "Night Isabella." with o real emotion in his voice.
I nodded then picked myself and started gathering the dirty plates.
A little while later my mom got up and did the same gesture like my dad had to me and my sister then went upstairs to sleep.
My sister put her spoon down and as I went over o her to collect her plate she spoke.
"Well, well, well that dinner was something to be appreciated, I just can't wait for school huh Isabella." she teased as she ruffled my hair and gave me a sloppy kiss on the cheek, Then she said "Goodnight Izzy have nice dreams of wanting to be me because tomorrow in reality of your life isn't going to be so nice." she skipped up the stairs happily.
"Grreeaatt" I stressed out quietly to myself and continued to clean up the kitchen.
When I was finished with cleaning up the kitchen. I took up my three duffle bag suitcases and went down to the basement all the while struggling with my bags the way down as I drop one while turning the lock on the basement door.
When I reached at the bottom I piled up the bags in the corner of the living room and went on my to my bedroom.
After I put my hair up into a messy bun which took long because my long hair didn't want to play nice with me. I went back into the basement living room, sat down on the couch, and picked up the phone the phone that was on the coffee table then dialed up one of my grandparents' numbers.
"Hello, this is Ms. Caecilia Swan. Who am I talking to?" my grandmother greeted.
"Oh grandma your sooo formal when you answer your phone." I joked.
"Oh my goodness is that my little beautiful magnifique bèbè Bella." she said happy.
"Grand-mère I not a baby anymore and I certainly not beautiful. Ordinary yes but beautiful not close." I said with my head leaning into my hand that was resting on the side of my face almost covering my left eye fully.
"Oh stop it this instant Bella, you are beautiful and no matter what other people say you are don't forget that." she said meaning every word in her sentence.
"Okay grand-mère. Now hold on I'm going to put grandpapa on the line too."
"Alright sweetie."
I put her on hold then dialed up my grandfather's number. When it started to ring I switch over back to my grandmother and connected both lines so she heard the rings too.
"Umm who is it" he said in a groggy tone.
"Oh I'm soo sorry grandpa I completely forgot about the time difference in Italy I'll call you back in the morning." I was about to hang up and just talk to my grandmother.
"DON'T YOU DARE HAND UP ON YOUR NONNO(grandpapa) I've been waiting on this call from you all day." He said sounding a little more awake then he did before.
"Okay as long as your certain you can stay up because I don't want-"
"Ah Bella stop it I might be an old man but I have perfect health to stay up as long as a hyper 6 year old." he laughed cheerfully.
"Okay well I have grandma on the line as well so I could talk to you both at the same time."
"Oh that's nice how are you Caecilia?" he asked.
"Great and you?" she asked back pleasantly.
"Wonderful thank you so much."
"Okay, okay I have school tomorrow so I ca stay long so I'm going to tell you guys all about my day from when I woke up to when I came on the phone now."
"Alright baby girl I'm all ears" my grandfather spoke eagerly.
"Go ahead sweetheart. We're listening." my grandmother said.
"Okay well I…" I told about my day how my plane ride went even when I eavesdropped on the phone call they had with my parents near to the end of it. When to the car part my grandmother admitted that she help out pick this since the so called "incident" that happen with my truck back in phoenix. My grandfather was still mad that neither me, my grandmother, and my favorite cousin Emilia on my mother's side of my family didn't tell him what happen why I was crying to them to get rid of my truck that I loved so much. But he never pushed just tried to not let his anger about not knowing consume him so he could just set it to the side until I'm ready to tell him. The truth of the matter is that I don't when I would ever truly able to tell without him overreacting and me I just can't she myself telling a guys this it would too embarrassing family or not.
When we were finally done my grandparents had the say with comments and other things then told before I hung up that this phone I was using had a private line that they are paying for so I could call them internationally without any problems and so I could have privacy without my family interrupting me or anything.
Also they said there was going to be two surprises for me when I wake up tomorrow so should get scared. I was confused and a little nervous to find out what they meant by it but didn't say anything about it.
We said our goodbyes and goodnights but took longer because my grandmother was sad to say goodbye now but I remember her about school and how I could still e-mail and/or call her and grandpa on the weekends.
I hung up the phone and stretched myself from off the couch and head off to my bedroom.
Once I got there I put my car keys along with my home keys on the side of my end table near the door and my bed. Then I drew the covers of my bed and went in then turned off both my bed lamps off and tuck myself in my bed with the covers slightly over my face and settled myself in and went to sleep.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
What in the bloody depths of hells is that?!?! I thought incredibly pissed at what noise that was waking me up.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Okay I'm pissed. I thought now waking myself rubbing my eyes and face a habit got from my dad. I sat up in my bed the sheets now down my waist and one of the straps to my tank top off my shoulder.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
I got out of the bed and started to look around my room for wherever that inferno beeping was coming from.
I used my ears to hear where the noise was mostly coming from I realized that it was coming from my right so I walked around my bed to that side and started to edge closer to the beeping noise.
When I did it was coming from my end table draw.
Great! My bed table is beeping. That's certainly not weird at all…yep not weird. I thought as I drew the draw open to turn off the beeping noise only to see that it wasn't the table beeping it was the phone inside beeping.
"Oh that's better." I said quietly with a sleepy smile as I picked up the small silver touch screen cell phone and touched the 'Turn off alarm' button on the screen.
Then I realized. Wait!!! A phone as in it's a cell phone that was beeping. When in the hell did I-. my thought trailed off as I remember the last words of my grandparents conversation last night. "Don't be scared it's a surprise."
"Oh right." I looked down on the phone to see that it was an LG phone because it written on top. I sat down on my bed to look over the phone I had.
As I was examining the phone from the corner of my eye I see another device that was like a light white creamy gold coloring the stilled open draw. I put the phone in my left hand and my other hand reach for the device in the draw.
It was a Zune touch screen mp4 with some sample songs in there and with some songs that I guess were put in there for me to listen to and enjoy.(AN-Pics of phone and mp4 on profile).
While was playing with my new phone and my mp4 I realized there was a note inside the draw.
I picked it and began to read.
Dear Bella,
Hey girl it's me Mandy your friend in now boring Phoenix without you and Emilia your cousin who misses you dearly. We went shopping for your clothes, computer, phone and Zune so you could be up to date and still be you with your stuff.

(AN-Pic of her on profile)
I shed tears as I read both of the letters over again just two more times.
I put the letters back into my draw for safe keeping and picked up my phone and sent some time looking through the photos on there.
While laughing and smiling at some of the photos with my funny cousin and my even funnier best friend I got up to the last photo which had them holding up a sign that said "Didn't want to run up your memory so my pics are on you computer.". I went back into the photos and found the one I was looking for.
The photo had Mandy and Emilia sitting onto of a white fence that had a background that looked like Emilia's father's ranch with green grass and horses in the back and a clear sunny blue sky.
Both of them had one arm around each other while their other arm supported them on the fence. They had their faces together smiling with their teeth showing looking totally and completely happy and blissful.
I put the picture on the main screen of my phone and smiled as I thought of always seeing the picture when I take out my phone.
I looked up to my bedroom window to see the sun was shining through it so I looked at my phone and saw that the time was 6:57 a.m. I put down my phone and my mp4 on the end table. I got up from my bed and went to my closet.
It was then that I saw that all the clothes there were matched into a set leaving me less time trying to make up what to wear everyday. I silently thank my friend and cousin for doing this.
I went in the closet and picked out one of the matched sets. I put the clothes on my bed then went back in and grabbed a pair of brownish red sneakers with dirty white laces. I put those sneakers on the floor under my outfit.
I took a step back from it put my hands on my hips and I over.
The shirt red plaid button up t-shirt that had the length of a boys shirt but was still small enough for a women. The sleeves were folded neatly at an elbow length. It was matched up with black skinny jeans with chains on it. (AN-Outfit on profile).
I figured it was a nice looked that wouldn't have me stand out too much in school. I shrugged my shoulders and went over to ,my dresser and pulled out a bra and panty set then headed off to the bathroom with it.
Before I left I checked the clock again on my phone it was now 7:24 a.m. I didn't know it took me so long to get my clothes together for today.
I went to the bath and took a long shower with shampooing my hair, shaving my legs, then went out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself.
I went over to the sink to brush my teeth, wash my face, and other things.
When I came out the bathroom with my underwear under my bath towel I headed off into my bedroom to change into my clothes.
When I was done I looked at myself in the full length mirror in the closet. I looked presentable with three of my shirt buttons open only revealing a little of my black bra underneath but my necklace I got from my grandfather covered most of it. I wanted to button up another button but it just made me look to edgy and nervous instead of being cool and calm which is what I was aiming for considering I was sweating bullets due my nervousness. With any luck the air will cool me down and dry up the sweat on my chest.
I went over to the bed table again and picked up my cell phone the time on it said 7:44 a.m. I quickly took up my Zune, my car keys along with my house keys, the sheet that has directions top the school so I could out it in my GPS system in the car, and lastly my black Sweeney Todd messenger book bag .(AN-Bag pic on profile).
I went up stairs and grabbed a banana, a grain bar, and poured a cup of milk and hurriedly ate as I saw my sister at the kitchen island table eating her cereal slowly while playing with her new dazzled up iPhone. (AN-Cell phone on profile).
Gabriella wore some light blue skinny pants with a white strapless top and some white plaited heels. Then sting over her peach ribbon bag. (AN-Outfit Pic on profile).
I drink and ate quickly then went outside to my car. I pressed the unlock button then open the driver door, and throw my messenger bag over on the passenger seat.
I fixed the car mirror on my side, and put in the direction to the school in my GPS system in my car, and backed out the drive way.
I was only about three blocks away from the school when I saw my sister's pink car rolled in next the side of my car. I had to stop at the light anyway so this means she wants to talk.
Great I sighed as I rolled my eyes and slumped back in my seat and waited for her to pull up.
When finally came up I rolled down my driver's window so I could hear her talk. She did the same with her passenger's window.
"Look you know the rules so just to refresh your memory:
One-When I'm at school you don't talk to me, make eye contact with, and/or referred me as your sister. Two-The only way rule number one could be broken is if I give the say so in otherwise don't break it. Three and most importantly-Stay out of my way and both of us can have a good time throughout high it there Izzy?" she asked as she numbered all the rules with her fingers her voice was filled with venom as she said all of this.
"Yes Gabriella I understand. I'll try not to embarrass you…too much especially with my silly clumsiness." I said calmly with a hint of irritation then drove off as soon as I saw the light turn immediately green.
When I got to the school's parking lot I saw that a lot of students were already there and as soon as my sister and I with ours and parked as far as away from each as possible with limited safe. Everyone eyed my car for about a couple of minutes then went over to my sister's car. I guessing that since it stands out with the color people are prone to be attracted to something new like that.
I came out my car and pulled my bag over my shoulders. I closed the door and pressed the car button to lock it.
At the sound of the beep some students turned to in my direction and watched me walk to the school. As I was walking I let my hair that I left flat out since my shower to partly air dried fall in at the sides of my face to had my now blushing cheeks. All the while keeping my head down to the ground clutching my bag strap.
"Those are the new Chief of Police daughters…"
"Oh my god look at their cars"
"Damn she got a nice ass and a good set of tits."
I twitched my nose at disgust at that last comment out of all the comments and whispers that was going around about us. I mean we just moved in yesterday and already they knew who we were before we got here. I guess this just because of Dads whole Chief of Police thing.
Yeah big whoop. I thought sarcastically with a slight smile on my face.
I approached the office to see a lady there with way too much make-up and big puffy dyed red hair that was cut short up to her shoulders. She wore a bright striped purple top with a black knee high skirt. When she looked up at me and smiled I saw she had big red rectangular rimmed glasses on.
When she was about to speak my sister just walked in.
"Oh good the both of you are here so it will be easier to give you both your schedules, explain the rules and ways of the school, and most importantly have your welcoming company introduce themselves at the same time. I'm Mrs. Cope by the way. So lets get started shall we?" Mrs. Cope said and asked as she started to type on the computer.
"Yep." we answered at the same time with a fake smile.
"Okay I have the schedules for Miss Gabriella O. Swan?" she questioned as my sister raised her hand and Mrs. Cope gave her schedule. "And for Miss Isabella M. Swan?"
"That would be me." I answered as I raised my hand and she gave me my schedule.
"Okay now you will walk out that door *she pointed to the door on the left that lead into the hallway* to meet up with your tour guides that will show you around the school and answer any questions for you. Now if you any they can't answer you may come back here to me and I'll answer them. Other than that all you have to do is get those slips signed by each of your teachers and come back here to give it to me. With that I wish good luck and a nice day. Goodbye." she said with a smile and returned back to her work on the computer.
We both walked out the door she had pointed out to early. When we go outside of it there were two girls there.
There's was one girl there that had long red hair that was straighten out and pulled back into her white and pink striped head band. She had on a very, very short light blue denim skirt on that probably would and should be illegal. She put on a pink tank top that showed off her big breasts and a part of her stomach revealing her shiny belly ring she had dangling out. She was wear black stilettos with the heels looking about 6-7 inches tall this made her legs look long and beautiful. I finally got up to her face she had pumped lips like she just got off from kissing not to long ago. She had fixed cheeks bones and her eyes were blue with a hint of amber in it if you were to look closely. She wore a smug evil smile on her face when she caught me and my sister looking at her.
Then was just a boost full of energy as she could barely contain her jumping and clapping of her hands. She had a wide smile that made her gray eye twinkle with happiness. The girl was short maybe 4'11 or so, she had short black hair that spike in every different direction but it had volume and length o it as she bounced.
The girl wore a purple dress top that was strapless and that look like a corset. With that she had a white thick lace skirt with a black bow belt wrapped around the waist part of it and to top it off she had lace high heels and a black bow head band.
The hyper was the first to introduce herself. 'Hi my name is Alice Brandon and I'll be your tour guide Isabella." she said eagerly as she pushed out her hand so I could shake it.
I shook her hand feeling somewhat happy about her excited nature. "Nice to meet you too Alice but please call me Bella."
"Okay Bella." She smiled.
"Hey I'm Tanya Denali and we're part of the student council here at Forks High School." Tanya greeted with less enthusiasm as Alice had with me as she shook my sister's hand.
"Yep and we both volunteered to show you girls around but since you have different first period classes we both will take each on a separate tour if that's alright?" Alice said still happy and jumpy.
"Nope." me and Gabriella said at the same time.
"Aw that's cute now come Gabriella your first class is art but we could skipped that period because I have to show you around." Tanya said as she waved my sister over down to the other side of the hallway.
"Well good riddens to them because we get to have some real fun. I really do see us as being Best Friends Bella. Now quick my soon to be friend I need to see your schedule." she said as she reached out for my schedule.
"If it's not any-any trouble I would like to see it too since I didn't get to in the office." I asked nervously while I pulled my schedule out and push it towards her.
"Sure, sure Bella." she beamed as she took one part of the paper and pulled it towards her and I did the same with my side.

*Free Period on Tuesdays and Thursdays*
"Hmm your schedule it's not bad it's actually really good you have all my friends and my boyfriend at least one or two of your classes but you have all of us in your Gym class so that will be fun." she beamed as she gave me back my schedule. Then took my hand and drag my off the other hallway my sister and Tanya didn't go down.
"Okay your locker is near one of the places. It's near the boys locker room so you could see their glistening bodies when they go in and come out and it's near the hallway window where there a beautiful view of the green club garden. You'll also be across from my friend locker I can tell you two would get along." She said all of this so quickly while dragging my arm then stop at a locker that read 1009.
Wow she's strong for such a little person even with her heels she walks really fast almost like gliding on the floor like she was ice skating. I thought as I dropped my bag and open my locker with the combination Alice said was on my schedule. I took out three notebooks with a pen and pencil then tucked everything in my locker and lock it back.
"Good now that's done I'll tell you about our little school here." She giggled.
"Well this school has an amazing amounts clubs you could join like the student council, the green club which is about saving and protecting the environment around us and the world my friend Angela is the co-president of this club, theres the art club, music club, yoga club, and many more when you check here on the club bulletin board." she explained as she stop and pointed to the board at the left of me that said CLUBS.
"As you see we have an endless amount almost like a college does. So the school could give us an endless amount of choices to chose form. Heck you could make up your own club if have at least ten people joining as long as it is approve by us, the council then the principal." Alice said as walked up to a flyer bin and gave me pages of staple clubs to look at and consider.
Alice informed me about the school policy about "Dress for Success" which are on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week so I would have wear a suit or be sent home for not following the rules.
Alice continued to tell about the teachers, some of the cliques here' and among other things that were a little social.
We went around to the schools and into buildings that had letters to them like Building A has numbers 100-108, Building B has numbers 200-208, and etc. What in the hell kind of school has so many one floor buildings. But all I did was just nod and kept on walking. "So that is the end of the tour I have now walked you to you second period class Math with Ms. Johnson you'll have my friend Angela in this class. She has kind of dark and light brown hair with bright hazel eyes. Her full name is Angela T. Weber so just hear out for her name if I don't catch her and tell her about. Okay Bella bye." She said sadly and little happy at the same time then surprise me with bone crushing hug.
"Alice I…cant…breath." I panted as she let me go.
"Sorry. Anyway class is about to start in like 2 minutes so I better hurry." she started to retreat down the hall but then turned around quickly and shouted. "Oh yeah Bella, keep in mind she's shy like you are. And come find me in the cafeteria for lunch we get to go outside of we want." Then ran as she heard the bell go off.
The hallway instantly got crowded. I slipped into my class and give the teacher at her desk my note. It return she gave me the book we are reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and told me that they are on they were already on part two of the book which was page 51 and they are now taking a week break to reexamine part one of the book so I had until next Monday to complete and be on the same page as everyone else. Also I would take that they will be given on next Tuesday instead of the following Monday so I could have review time with her while the class takes the test.
I told her thank you then she gave me a syllabus for her class and pointed to my seat.
When I got there I saw a girl with glasses on engrossed in a Maya Angelou collected poem book. I sat down and put my notebooks and my pen and pencil on the table. Not wanting to bother the girl next to me.
The class went on as the students did class work and I read at least half of part one in the book when the teacher announced that there was 7 minutes left of class and we could either relax and talk quietly or continue on with what we were doing before.
The girl next to closed her book and was going to put in her book bag until she saw that I was sitting there.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't notice you there." she said with a nervous laugh while taking off her glasses and put them in her glasses case. "I tend to get really into reading. Hi my name is Angela Weber." she said with a smile and struck out her hand towards me.(AN-Pic of her on my profile).
I took her hand and felt right away felt the same warmth and welcoming that I had with Alice. "No problem I do the same thing to when I read. By the way my name is Bella Swan nice to meet you."
"No way the pleasure is all mine." we laugh at that and then she release my hand.
We quickly jumped in and discussing the type of books we like to read and about the writing and book club at the school that I would be interested in joining. I was pleased that I actually had someone to talk to that my sister had yet to influence to stay away from me but all too soon the school bell rung and class was dismissed. I said a shy goodbye to Angela and she did the same as told me short to get to my next class.
My music and math classes went will and in one of my classes I had meet up with Angela's boyfriend Ben. He was a little more outgoing but still a bit shy in his own way. (AN-Pic of him on my profile). He was from Asian descent with his short abut long black hair that cover his forehead with a small boyish bang. He had slim yet muscular figure that made him look distinguish yet is boyish young face made him look like a child.
Then lunch time came around I knew that Alice and Angela wanted me join them and there friends in the cafeteria so I could meet them. But let my insecurities get the best of me since the last time I went to sit with supposed friends at lunch my sister embarrass when she stuck her foot out and I tripped over it and fell causing my food in my tray to fall all over my head. Needless to say I was called spaghetti head throughout middle school after that I would always retreat in the library for the comfort of my books.
Knowing that I couldn't risk having that happen so I turn and looked at the school map to see where the library here was.
After a few seconds I found the route and wrote it down in one of my notebooks I ripped out the page and went to my locker.
When I put all my stuff away expect for paper that had the directions on it to the library. I closed the locker and went off to the library.
When I got there, there was a librarian lady who looked to be in her early twenties probably a college student working her part-time. She then asked for my schedule so could make sure that this was my lunch period.
Once she had checked everything she told the rules of being here at the library checking out or in books from here, and etc.
After I clear that I understood everything she had told me. I retreated to the back of the library. I was going to sit but I saw a guy hunched over with three text books surrounding around him as he listen to his iPod. He had short neck length black hair with pale but not sickly pale skin. He must of sense my approach as he lifted his head and gave me a small smile then took out his ear buds. (AN-Pic on Profile).
"Sorry about mess. Didn't mean to not have you sit here." He said in a thick British accent.
"No problem, I'll go sit somewhere else since your busy." I said softly and nervously looking around for another place.
"No, no, no come on sit I don't mind. Here I'm Garrett Evans nice to meet you???" He greeted as he held out his hand over the table as he slightly stand and hunched over the table.
"Oh sorry Bella Swan. I new here." I greeted as I blushed and took his hand and shook it.
"First i would like to say welcome to the school and hpegully you make it out of this little town and down get stuck here like some of the people here. Secondly, well I hope I don't distract you I'm just working on my Model U.N. presentation this after on my birth country Norway even though my mother and father raised me in the U.K. for a better education. Anyway enough with my rambling I'll just let you and me get back to our work before we run out of time here." He said as he settled back into his chair and then waved to me a goodbye and put the ear buds back on then resumed to what he was doing.
I smiled then sat down, put down my books and started reading and doing my Math and English homework.
"Alright I'm going to go now and beat the crowd. It's five minutes before this period ends. It was nice to meet you Bella hopefully I'll see you around. Bye." He said as he shook my hand again and waved a polite goodbye to me then left.
5 Minutes Later
BING BING BING BING BING
The school bell rung. I got up happy that I had at least some of the English homework and completed all of my math homework.
I took out my schedule to see what class I have now.
Oh no a clumsy person's worst nightmare. DUM, DUM, DUM GYM!!!I thought dramatically as I blew out some angry air.
I went up to the librarian and asked her where the gymnasium was in the school.
"Oh that's not too far from here it's actually right over-"
"I GOT IT Ms. Kim." someone sang. A voice I knew sounded familiar.
When I turned around my assumptions were correct. The familiar voice was Alice. That little pixie looked quite upset but hide well in her happy face.
"I'm her tour director anyway plus I have gym now too with her. Come on Bella. BYE MS. KIM!!!" she said dragging me out and shouted a goodbye to the librarian.
I waved back a goodbye to the librarian before I was pulled into a corner around from the library room and backed into a wall.
I looked to Alice she looked a bit between pissed and sad like someone who dog got run over by a car.
"Bella why did choose to go to the library instead coming to the lunch room with me and Angela? We were waiting by the door for a whole 20 minutes Bella. I was telling my friends and my boyfriend Jazz all about you even Angela said some things." Alice said with sad expression on her face and a pleading voice to know the answer to her question.
I tried to find my voice but as I open and closed my mouth countless of times I couldn't seem to find words. I just stared into her pleading eyes all the while my palms were sweaty and shaking as I tired to fixed the books that was sliding out my hand from my sweat.
Alice not hearing anything suddenly had a defeated look and drop her head that hide the view of her face. "I mean if I came on too strong with my happy nature or you don't like me or something. You could of just-"
I put my arms on her shoulder then shook her gently this made her look up. The on her face made me feel like slum knowing that I made her that way.
I made for her to walk as I saw the gym in the back of her. "Look Alice it's not I don't like you because I really do in great friend sense." Her face lighten up at this. "But *her face fell a little bit* I know by the end of today or if I'm lucky-which I'm never am-by the end of the week that you'll find out how boring and most of all how big of a waste of time I am."
"But Bella-"
"No Alice lets just drop this before we both get too deep in this. Anyway you my sister will be great friends. She was and is always the better candidate for a friend to everybody and anybody." I went inside the gym and didn't turn back to the stun Alice I left in front of it.
I gave the gym teacher Mr. Smith the sheet for him to sign and he in return gave me the "run down" as he called it of what goes on in his gym class but for today me and my sister will be out until tomorrow when we bring our uniforms for his class.
I was going to read rest of my English pages when I saw Alice and Angela come in with two guys arms around their waist. One which I known already Ben Cheney that was Angela's boyfriend.
The other boy that had his arm around Alice's tiny waist I didn't know but had seen him in the hallway walking to his next class. The boy who looked more like a man had short honey blond hair up to the tips of his shoulders. His eyes were a bright hypnotizing color of blue like beach water. His skinned was good shade of tan making his white skin darker into bit yellowish skin like a toned surfer. His body was medium firm with muscle through his sleeveless FHS gym uniform shirt. His arms muscles were just the right sized that would make girl squeezed them and have the veins show through the skin.
That guy must 'Jazz' as Alice calls him. As I looked at him for a bit longer his expressions showed a on his face and body. He calm, quiet, and reserved but still showed off an essence of a Bruce Banner before he turned into The Hulk. He was about a got 2-3 feet taller then Alice like 6'11.
He wore a tight muscle white Nike brand t-shirt with letters FHS spread diagonally across part of his chest to the tops of his abed stomach. With the shirt he wore black with white outlining gym shorts that was also a Nike brand with a pair of black and white Jordan sneakers.
Alice wore a pink dancer workout stringed Nike shirt and matching black and pink Nike brand gym shorts with FHS logo written on it. She also wore some black, pink, and gray with green neon laced sneakers with her gym uniform.
While Angela wore a short sleeved Nike brand FHS gray shirt with black Nike shorts and gray and white sneakers.
Hey I know. I know what your thinking-How I know these things? Well to answer your question from being treated like I'm literally invisible or a nasty fly I was always being talked around by other people that sat beside, in front, or in the back of me. And all my classmates would talk about is "Nike" this and "Nike" that all the time. Until somewhere along he line I had all knowledge on Nike whether good or bad.
A girl with long blonde that was flowing in the air because she was playfully running from some huge bear like guy. Who then caught her in his arms and picked her like her child and spun her around laughing merrily as she kicked her feet since her hands could moved use to the fact she was cradled in his HUGE muscled arms. He wore a dark yellow Nike sports t-shirt with the FHS logo on it going diagonally just as Jasper shirt with his Nike gray and striped yellow gym shorts. In addition with his blue, yellow, and white Nike sneakers.
The guy had dark brown near black colored hair that was curly and very short. He had a toned light tanned skin and with his muscles rippling through just every part of his clothes especially his shirt that showed off his tight six-pack no eight-packed abs with his HUGE muscular arms that looked like a girl as skinny as me could do pull-ups on it if he arched it. Which probably could be true. I still couldn't get over his sized I mean he as if he could take on 5-10 men by himself and still come out untouched. It would also be very hard to believed that he was maybe 17 or 18 years old in high school instead of a 21 or 23 year old man he looked liked. His height would be about 8'11 or 9'11 like those tall basketball players on TV or just about anywhere that wasn't TV.
When he finally turned around trying to block the hits he was getting from the model type blond girl. I saw he had dark golden eyes which looked like light honey brown colored. He had an happy expression on his face but still scary enough with his size to make people keep a distance especially me. But all in he had a boyish face that made him look young and handsome at the same time.
The blond beauty queen beside him had long light blond hair that seem to perfectly sparkle in the gym lights. It was pulled back in a pony tail letting it come down curly along her back. She had electric blue grayish eyes that went great with her light cream skin. Her was in an athletic shaped showing some muscle in her arm and her body especially with long toned legs.
She wore a black tank top that showed off her slightly muscled arms with her red Nike branded gym shorts that had the FHS logo on it. Additionally with her red, white, and black Jordan sneakers.
Great could her group of friends be any more perfect and ever sooo right for my sister Gabriella. I sighed thoughtfully in my head slumping down now in my gym bleacher seat.
Uh Oh I thought too soon. I thought as I saw a guy come run over to Alice's group he had short bronzed messy hair that would be consider as sex hair the way it was going. I just wanted to run my hands through and scratched lightly on his scalp as he would moan at my action. Then I could see he would kiss me with his nice kissable pink lips that he had just licked nice and slow just tempting me to sucked nip, and kiss it long and slowly savoring every taste and moment with them. He looked like an Adonis that would have Aphrodite craving for even a glance in her direction. His body was well sculpted and showing his muscular form like Jasper body but more toner and god like. When Mr. Sex God himself turned fully around to talk to Angela about something I stare over her head to see his nicely god like features on his face the way his cheeks were puffed but not too puffed and his eyes-"OH GOD his eyes' I thought with a moan-were sparkling light forest green that looked as if he could make you orgasm by just staring at with them.
The things I wanted to do to this boy. I thought as I closed my eyes and suppress a moan that was threaten to escape my mouth.
I shook my head and open back my eyes and open up my book to continued to read from the I was on before. I didn't even know the guy's NAME yet I was pinning after him as I well know most of the females at this school, HECK maybe even the world that could have stare him must be lusting after him as well.
My sister came in the gym moments after the bell and did the same routine as I had gone through with Coach Smith and came to sit I the middle of the front bleachers way far from me where I been on the way far side of the middle bleacher seat at the far end.
Gabriella had come in with her tour guide Tanya, a light brown hair girl, a dirty blonde hair girl, a platinum blonde girl that look like Tanya, and other girl whole was a natural blonde that also looked a little like Tanya too. Behind them was two guys one surfer blonde but not as nice as Jasper and other one who was African-American guy.
Figures she makes five friends and now two admirers on her first day. I thought to myself.
My only had a minute to sit before the girl with the light brown came to her and sat beside her and started to talk to her.
I could hear every word of the conversation due to their loud mouths and giggles which was not interesting just about the best shopping places around Seattle. But then the conversation took a turn as Gabriella asked about the group of students that I had seen Alice with early.
"Oh they are known as "Cool Crew" or "The Young Millionaires/Billionaires of the Famous and most Influential People of the World" or T.Y.M/B.F.M.I.P.W. but since that's too long we only used the first one. Anyways the Hale, Whitlock, Brandon, McCarthy, Cheney, Weber, and lastly hottie Cullen just about everyone around the world either knows all their last names or one of their last names.
Lets get the two obvious ones out. Angela N. Weber's family created the internet long ago in the 1900s and are co-owners of the Microsoft and Apple company. Making her very rich. Ben Z. Cheney' family own all the gaming industries you know like EA games, Sony, and etc along with the GameStop stores. So just about Bordering Billionaire rich. They're both together as in a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship. Angela is the president of the green club and vegetarian/vegan alliance club. On gets paid as student teacher of the yoga club here too. Ben is a part of the math team and computer graphics club.
Next we have the blonde girl named Rosalie L. Hale who has an older sister name Victoria in prep school with her bad boy boyfriend James Jasper Whitlock's distant cousin. The Hale family are pretty much old time money with their foundation being jewelry and boat selling businesses from the late16th century, I think . Anyway their Billion dollar rich too. She is the head cheerleader and track team star of our school and other places around the U.S. when we compete.
After that, is the big muscular next to her with the goofy smile is Emmett W. McCarthy who are known for their business expertise for sports management, celebrity management, music management and other management areas. Their a million dollar company which makes him a millionaire himself. Emmett plays on the defense line of the football team, he is on the wrestling team, and every other sport he could join at this school. Both him and Rosalie are going out making them the jock like couple.
Following after him, is Mary Alice Brandon the short petite like girl next to the tall blond guy. The Brandon family are known throughout the fashion world and owns just about every fashion magazine expect for those porn ones. She is a Billionaire but when she was 5 years old her parents had died in a car accident while coming home from a charity dinner after being at it for their contributions and actions in it. Instead of her living with her aunts or uncles the parents gave sole custody to Mr. and Mrs. Cullen. Which was a good thing too because I heard Mrs. Cullen was having all of the children over for a sleep over that night. Anyway she's a part of the Junior council representing our whole class with her two advisors one who you meet is Tanya Denali and the other is this quiet boy who is hot as hell Garrett Evans he's British, I think. She also is co-captain of the swim and gymnastics team here.
Then is Jasper Q. Whitlock he is the blonde guy next to her. The Whitlock family is mostly military business they were the ones that started the CIA and other military organizations including being scientist to make military weapons. there are Billion or Million dollar rich. But along the line when Jasper was 7 years old his father joined a peace alliance to stop the wars in Africa only to get himself killed in the process and his Mom had went into a heart attack when she found out and died leaving the Cullens full custody of him. He is the captain of the soccer team and swim team. He also works at this Recreation Center with children helping with their homework and other things. In addition he gets paid and volunteers at a program for children whose lost their parents or is suffering from divorce parents. He and Alice are together also.
Lastly, Edward A.M. Cullen is the bronze hair bombshell that defines everything sexy for a man to be in the world. The Cullen family are old time money rich you know those merchant or whatever from the 16th century well the Cullens had been merchants back then and work themselves up from that. Back to present day point the Cullen family are the top leading in medical research and advancement like the artificial organ transplant, the newly developed lung cancer cure medicine, and etc. But they a huge corporation that involves many other areas/departments like fashion, gaming, and other types of businesses. This is main reason why they are all together because back when the panic of 1819 happen then all the way into the stock market crash in 1929 the Cullens scooped in an helped a couple of businesses those just happen to be the Hales, Brandons, and the rest of their group after that they have been close as any family could get even having their children play together so they'll be connected but this is the first I heard that their children hooked up with one another.
Well everyone expect Edward I mean he went out with me in 5th grade then in 6th grade went out with Lauren and lastly Tanya was the longest he had gone out with from late 8th grade year and to late 9th grade in high school. They had a public break up when quote and unquote Tanya didn't get the full message the first 27 times he said that they were "OVER" so he got on top of his lunch table one day and yelled "We're over Tanya, OVER not on a break NO. Not I trying to think straight NO WE. ARE. OVER!!!" the whole lunch room heard this and laugh but Tanya found her way on top the next couple of days after that. Last year until the last two months of the year all Edward did was one stands and that was it he even dated two college girls at the same time and broke up with them on the same day a month afterwards. The guy is the ultimate playboy/player Forks has ever known.
This year he's been distant and less caring just… bored now I guess the guys are taking advantage of this moment and most of his leftovers. He thinks all the girls here aren't good enough for him anymore or never really were. But he is still datable but not at all attainable unless he wants you.
Nonetheless, Edward is a part of the track team and baseball team here. He use to be a part of the soccer, football, and swim team but stop for no real reason. He is also the one of the chairman of the school council for the students. He also involved in other things in the volunteer department.
All in all they hang out together like brothers and sisters supporting one another. Which is what their families wanted all along.
So that pretty much covers them. Oh look at that the time. Gym is over." she said to Gabriella who sat there and smiled throughout the whole thing trying to process this new information and have it in her advantage. (AN-All their pics on my profile).
I looked up at the clock and she was right Gym was over.
I was walking to my last class when everything that girl said hit me.
All I have to say is 'Oh my God' I can't believe that for the time I been with Alice and Angela that they were a part of this group that everyone wanted to be in. Now I know there is no way I would have a chance at being friends with them. Ever. I mean I knew Edward would be out my lead due to his looks but now he's out the universe to me ever even getting a five second conversation with him. I sighed as I stepped in my AP Chemistry class with Mr. Banner and gave him my slip. He told there were only two seats left and I could chose which ever I want.
The two seats he mention was one all the way in front near the walk way and the other was in the back near the window. Since the thought of people staring at the back of my head probably whispering about me gets me really nervous I chose the back seat because most of the time I like to stare out the window when I'm bored. I got to the back just in time as everyone started to pile in.
My sister came in and sat in the front available seat next to the Garrett guy from the library.
I was glad when no came to sit in the back with me knowing that I'll be alone gave me relief a little bit. But I guess the Gods were against because the winded out Edward 'Sex God' Cullen came in just as the final bell rung. He talk to Mr. Banner for a few moments then came strolling to the back of the room right at me.
He stopped short when he saw me then smiled and went to his seat beside me at the walk way.
While Mr. Banner went through his lecture, one I already cover back in Phoenix making him three lessons behind and less for me to pay attention to. I noticed out of the corner of my Edward copying down some of the notes. As he was doing I couldn't help see the veins poked out his muscled arm as he pressed down on his pen with his black sleeved shirt rolled up to his elbows. The way his jaw was tighten and his eyes focused got me all hot and bother making me want this forbidden Green Eyed God more.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear him calling me.
"Hey, hey you?" he whispered as he nudged my arm for my attention.
I sat up in my chair quickly and looked over at him feeling my palms getting sweaty.
"Y-ye-yes?" I stuttered to him.
He chuckled a little then licked his lips and gave one HELL of sexy crooked smile.
"Didn't mean to startle you. I just wanted to introduce myself as your lab partner for the rest of the year. Nice to meet I'm Edward Cullen. What is it everyone calls you?" he whispered taking a peak every now and then through his greeting to see if Mr. Banner turned around from the board. But still kept his eyes on mine and smiled politely then struck out his hand for me to shake.
I wanted to say that people usually ignores me and acts as if I'm invisible so you should do the same. But a part of my brain that wants to be mischievous stretched out my had towards his and grab it and said.
"Isabella Swan but I go by Bella. I glad to be your lab partner too." I add with a nervous smile and went for his hand. When our hands touched I a sparked of electricity go through. I guess he felt it too as I wanted to let go my hand but he held on it tighter rubbing small caressing circles on it as he looked down to my hand then back to my eyes.
He was about to say something when he was interrupted…
